no liter, but litter, works #255
Description
import quantities as pq
pq.__version__
aa = pq.UnitQuantity("liter", pq.L, "liter")
pq.CompoundUnit("1/liter")In current version 0.16.1 this fails:
>>> import quantities as pq
>>> pq.__version__
'0.16.1'
>>> aa = pq.UnitQuantity("liter", pq.L, "liter")
>>> pq.CompoundUnit("1/liter")

In 0.14.1 this worked...
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import quantities as pq
>>> pq.__version__
'0.14.1'
>>> aa = pq.UnitQuantity("liter", pq.L, "liter")
>>> pq.CompoundUnit("1/liter")
1 (1/liter)
>>>
To make it even more confusing, if we call liter "litter" (double t) instead... it works in the latest version
>>> import quantities as pq
>>> pq.__version__
'0.16.1'
>>> aa = pq.UnitQuantity("liter", pq.L, "litter")
>>> pq.CompoundUnit("1/litter")
1 (1/litter)
